We Rate 16 Non-Alcoholic Beers

[@AddictOfLearning]

I love how Penn is super into breaking down each beer like a good cicerone and Kim is truly there for support.

[@piiinkDeluxe]

😂 true

[@patterbt]

This video review is fantastic, thanks so much for doing!! When Penn said "I like a beer, but just don't like how it makes me feel the next morning", an alarm bell went off for me because that is the EXACT SAME reason that I started looking for good NA beers!!! I have been experimenting and attempting to find good NAs for the past 18 months, and have had a lot of bad NA beers. At your recommendation, I picked up a single of Untitled Art IPA and I completely agree. When I first sipped it, I was like "oh wow, this tastes like a normal IPA and doesn't have any of that NA funk that a lot of them have." Will definitely be buying more Untitled art, the only drawback is that it is very expensive where I live --- as in more expensive than the barrel aged beers I can get from Founder's Brewing (in my hometown of Grand Rapids, MI). I am an IPA fan, and also love a good rich stout. I have tried many many "dark" NAs and most of them are terrible. I will say that the NA from Guiness is fantastic and tasted nearly identical to normal guiness. My buddy and I even did a side by side and you could barely tell any difference. And a very surprising recent find was Labatts Blue NA. My friend bought some by accident and didn't want it, so he gave it to me. I will say this is one of the best NAs I have ever had. It tastes just like real beer, and is quite good. I am not normally a big Labatts fan, but I will drink this NA for sure in the future. As a bonus, I think it is pretty cost effective compared to some of the other "craft NAs"

[@SCKSCat]

I agree on the Guinness NA. Virtually no difference from the taste of Guinness. I'll have to check on if I can get Untitled Art here, but Athletic's Run Wild is my IPA fix. I also agree with Penn on waking up the next morning. I wasn't as motivated as I am now.

[@mrshmee]

Kim's expressions make this 😂

[@DemonKingNemo]

Makes this unbearable

[@Lukes_Animation]

I love how kim is just nodding and smiling the whole way through.

[@Lukes_Animation]

During the pandemic, I was depressed as H-E-double-hockey-sticks but your videos helped me keep my sanity. Thank You.

[@BigRedNavyChick]

This is the best. I love all the looks that go across Kim's face as Penn's talking about each beer. Priceless! :D

[@hemaccabe4292]

Penn and Kim, I'm glad for you that you are trying to be more healthy. I'm also grateful that you are setting a good example for us all. Keep up the good work. Now it's time to think about that live pot luck concert.

[@tracyfreise7288]

I need Kim’s level of support for Penn’s ratings in literally all aspects of my life!

[@KJDogluv]

Right?!?!

[@ginapurcell1732]

I'm 16 weeks pregnant and loved watching this. I'll be going to get untitled art at my nearest total wine in Minnesota. Thank you!!! I love IPAs

[@chickie8252]

I give you guys so much credit for drinking non-alcoholic beers. There is only one reason I will drink beer, and that is to get the effect of the beer. I cannot subject myself to something that tastes like a beer, but is not going to make me relax like a beer. I just can't do it. If I'm not going to drink something alcoholic it's going to be soda, seltzer, or good old-fashioned water. Life is too short to subject yourself to things that taste like something, that aren't. No, I don't drink diet soda either. I'm just one person, and there are stronger people than me for this.

[@DeezyWeezy21]

This is great, thanks for doing this and the mocktail video! I have been incorporating more NA beers and other drinks these days as alcohol no longer agrees with me quite as much as it used to, lol. I most recently tried NA Corona and it was pretty spot on to the "real" thing!

[@CruisingWithDee]

I love this! My husband and I cruise quite a bit (LOL; obviously) and we don’t drink hardly at all, so we appreciate the reviews! Also, if you haven’t tried Leer’s Non-Alcoholic spirits, you should-we love them and were introduced to them on Carnival cruises (we now mix drinks with them at home).

[@justinankney8526]

I know the point was non-alcoholic, but I would love to see Penn taste actual IPAs

[@camelgirl65]

Thanks for doing the work for us! Hubby & I only drink non-alcoholic beer and really, really like Heineken 0.0. which really does taste like their regular beer. Don't know how they do it. In fact, on a recent cruise we took, as soon as we arrived in the dining room for dinner, they brought it out for us! I didn't know there were so many others, so now we'll look for your high-rated ones.

[@marthahancock7938]

I don't care about beer or fake beer - I watch just for a couple minutes of cuteness!

[@trinaq]

I love your videos, Penn and Kim. Thanks for making us laugh all day long.

[@goldenbadger8247]

Penn, lick a pine tree and be done with it

[@danapettygrove9500]

Love the hashtag sobercurious! I've always assumed NA beers were flavorless, but it looks like I have some exploring to do!

[@galindo925]

Excellent reviews! Glad you tried the Untitled Art, I’ve been curious myself about it, but couldn’t get myself to try it, something about the branding of the can I couldn’t get past. 🤷🏻‍♂️. But now I have to try it!

[@ariakramer4532]

If you haven't tried Go Brewing, their Sunshine State IPA is yummy, as are their sours. Love the seasonal grapefruit IPA as well. I was underwhelmed with most Bravus beers, but their West Coast IPA I probably truest to name, followed by their oatmeal dark. I haven't had a single beer by Untitled Art I don't love. They win in every category in my book, worth the price.

[@larrystolzman9337]

Thanks for a very interesting video. Really informative and helping viewers know non alcoholic options are available. I also love the fact your top pick is from my home state of Wisconsin. Unfortunately I don’t like beer. I had one 50 years ago. I think it was my last. Love your channel. Great stuff.

[@jpmccarthy33]

I love this video. I've been doing sober summer as well (almost 3 months) BUT I'm also an IPAhole too Penn - love me some strong IPA, DIPA, and even a few TIPAs :) I wish I could get that untitled here (east coast Canada) as that would likely check a lot of boxes for me as well. So far my favourites are Harmon Half Day IPA, Athletic Wild IPA, and Partake IPA (in that order). There are a few local ones here but they are not as good as those three. I was going to try the partake Hazy IPA but now I'm not based on your review LOL.

[@latterdaycovenantliving]

I don’t drink and I don’t plan on getting into non alcoholic beers but I just wanted to watch and comment anyway to support your health journey!

[@amylouwilliams83]

Drinking game… take a shot every time IPA is said 😂😂😂 great video guys.. definitely good for those looking for beers that are like the original but non alcoholic

[@RedCornStudios]

Agree...Untitled Art is for sure the top of the line NA beer. Brew Dog is another strong brand that is more in line with Brooklyn.

[@RNpaopao]

Kim has the same facial expressions I make when my husband talks about his job 😂😂😂

[@randim8760]

Thanks for the reviews! Hey Kim, I am not a beer drinker at all, but decided to do the same thing and decrease alcohol. Corona makes a nonalcoholic beer that is so refreshing. Add some fresh lime and it’s a perfect summertime drink

[@user-ll9vh6tr2r]

BrewDog AF beers are pretty awesome. They can sometimes be a little light in body, but the taste is spot on. I'm a pale ale/session IPA with a lemon wedge kind of gal and BrewDog Nanny State is my fav.

[@jimburke1076]

Agreed, brewdog probably has 16 of their own NAs. Maybe time for another video?

[@athlene110]

I found this was better than the mocktail one. I like that Penn rated them based on how they are supposed to taste. If you do another nonalcoholic wine, mocktail, spirit, hard liquor one, can you rate them on how they are suppose to taste. Nice to know that there are actually a lot of good non alcoholic beers out there!!

[@soonercolby]

I am wanting to limit my alcohol this year, so this video (and the one coming soon re: "Mocktails") is coming at the perfect time. Thank you! It's nice to know that when you're craving something grownup, you can still be smart.

[@catboxcleaner3532]

We love you guys. You are so friendly. Take care and cheers.

[@Zil_Senczy]

Love this series. Totally need one for champagne, wine and maybe just seltzers. Maybe an adaptation/ herb one? What would that category even be called? I am a life long sober girl and often enjoy dealcoholized wine or champagne at parties.

[@bighuge1060]

I appreciate this video. I had no idea there were so many N/A beers on the market. Sharp, O'Doulls, Buckler, etc. are among the seven or eight varieties in my area.

[@codybennett8516]

Penn, thank you for your opinions on the NA beers. As someone who works in the beverage industry the NA trend continues to grow each day with a variety of different companies trying their hand at it. I agree Untitled Art has to be the best overall beer (also they don’t just have IPA. They have blonde, golden, sour, stouts and porters)! One that truly surprised me was the Stella Artois NA which truly taste like a Stella. If you can get your hands on it try to find the Mikkeller Raspberry Ale because Kim might really like that one. My wife truly enjoys it and is not a beer drinker (she says it taste like a raspberry soda). Thank you again for all your information on these beers!

[@carlabarber8944]

Super excited to try Untitled Art now. Busch NA might also surprise Penn. It’s my husband’s favorite of the inexpensive NAs, but he otherwise enjoys Clausthaler Dry Hopped.

[@cristisha]

Love Kim's facial expressions!

[@erikaspence287]

Athletic Brewing also sometimes puts out a west coast IPA called Tucker’s. It sells out FAST on their website but it’s my favorite of all of their line, I like it substantially more than their flagship IPA (which I do like).

[@cutsiej5873]

Of course the best one came from Wisconsin!! Brew City 💙💛

[@OneFlightDownWpg]

I've had a few of these. I'm always a bit let down by Partake, but the Heineken is surprisingly good. I'd love to try the Brooklyn ones. Cheers.

[@hemaccabe4292]

Penn, you once joked in the comments about us hanging out. Unfortunately, I'm not into sports and I don't drink, but I think you're cool and would love to hang out and be friends. If you're drinking less, than that means we would be more likely to be able to be friends which makes me happy.

[@MrsCutout206]

We love the Athletic Brewing Company beers. My husband really likes their hazy IPA. I think their stout is great. If you put a lime in the up-side-dawn it tastes like a Corona, and their Cerveza tastes a lot like Dos XX. If we can find it we’ll try the Untitled Art, even though we are right next door to Wisconsin, Iowa is way behind in the non-alcoholic drink options. I just wish someone could come up with a really good NA wine.

[@alienresearchlab]

You forgot Coors 'Edge' and Lagunitas 'IPN/A'. Two of the best widely available NAs imo. Other good ones are: Asahi 0.0, Stella Artois Liberte, Peroni 0.0, and the Sierra Nevada NA. NAs are great on a hot day if you are in a situation where you want a beer but don't want the buzz.

[@folkfollower86]

I love Untitled Art's alcoholic variety drinks as well. Their beer is solid, and their seltzers are the best. Didn't surprise me that their n/a beer is the best of the bunch too. Solid brewery. This was insightful though, thank you.

[@KJDogluv]

Clausthaler is my favorite, WA hops and brewed in Germany, where the NA beers are on tap everywhere

[@sunnycharacter]

Golly, Penn DOES have extensive experience in beer! Lol Fun recovery on the whole blonde Kim interaction. 🤪

[@natashaw401]

kims expresssions are the best truly awesome

[@raymarks7430]

Agree agree agree ! Penns Best is also very affordable, purchase at Total Wine if you’ve got one. Untitled Art has been a favorite of mine for a couple years, along with Two Roots which sadly is going away. (Someone should offer them money as their recipe is the best) You guys missed Guinness which is exactly like the leaded version … maybe do a follow up? But great review and I have tried pretty much all of these.

[@cb5440a]

Try hoplark drinks ! It’s not a beer but selzer with hops “hopwater” or hoptea - unsweetened iced tea with hops. They have very hoppy ones and different levels of caffeine based on the tea. When you want something less heavy than a beer but want the taste.

[@danmccall2150]

Penn, you should try the Untitled Art brand stouts. I kid you not; their Chocolate Milk Stout and S'mores Stout are truly outstanding. Maybe not for the beach, but during the winter months.

[@NativeWarrior88]

When I drank alcohol, I was a big fan of wheat ales, like Blue Moon! Im not sure what classification it belongs in, but I also really enjoyed Yuengling! I believe it's a Lager! I will definitely be getting that Untitled Art one though! This was a cool video!

[@flamingomtn]

You should try Clausthaler Dry Hopped. The liquor store didn't have what you liked so I picked this instead and it actually wasn't bad at all. First sip, I could tell it was different but from then on, it was awesome beer...in my head.

[@piiinkDeluxe]

I'd love you guys to try some German beer. Many have a non-alcoholic version as well and in my humble opinion I think they usually taste a lot like beer. But then again I don't drink that often. 🙃

[@nicoleannkyle]

I work in a wine and spirits store, and I have tried almost all the N/A’s we carry. Majority are really good.

[@trudat1498]

Just a little tip for Penn, if you google where they have it in your area, you don’t have to do as much driving from store to store looking for your favorite.

[@codybennett8516]

Unfortunately I wouldn’t rely to much on that because companies tend to not update what they carry. As someone in the beer and wine industry google says I carry one brand and I have never had it in my store so if you go that route make sure you call the place first before making the trip. :)

[@trudat1498]

@@codybennett8516 really? I’ve honestly not run across that yet, but I’m sure you are right.

[@patriciahurley6158]

My husband and I are loving Guinness NA.. Taste just like a Guinness..we did a side by side test and it was hard to tell difference.

[@KentuckyKrafter]

Thanks. This is awesome. I hope you find some more NA wine and do a video on those. ❤

[@user-ie4mt1mm9o]

As a former IPA head- turned sober- I really really really like- Rationale- their 3 IPAs are very accturate to NE stye hazy- and juicy hops flavors-- ALSO- Untitled art- westcoast is good and their Double IPA was really good. ALSo last one- Barrell Bros out of california- is amazing! just suggestions! I was happy to find hazy IPA's that weren't gross.

[@meldubs]

Hop water is amazing (I love hops). I'm excited about this video because I haven't dived into nonalcoholic beers yet and this gives me some places to start.

[@meldubs]

Update: partake blonde and run wild IPA are now staples in my house for when I want a beer but not the alcohol. Thank you so much for this!

If you like stouts or dark beers, try Bravus Oatmeal Dark (brewery is located in Anaheim)

[@cag2012]

The Two Roots IPAs are also really good, particularly when they have Resin Riot. And the Untitled Art West Coast. Best low cal in my opinion is Wellbeing Match Day Light.

[@max57rich37]

Please try the Coors Edge. It tastes just like the old Coors Banquet beer.

[@johnnydarko5411]

Guiness, Corona and Athletic Brewing IPA NA have been our favorites so far.

[@daniellehanson3137]

Penn should try Hoplark and their hop teas/NA beer. My favorite is the Citra bomb hoptea I swear it tastes just like Hopslam (Bell's brewing)

[@heathermalone9091]

Oh my goodness you guys this was as helpful as it was fun to watch. I am 7 years sober and my beloved is 10. We both miss the experience of kicking back with an IPA on a summer night. I don't know if you can get this where you live but here in Colorado we have a company called HopLark and their "Hop Teas" are delightful. I like "the Really Hoppy One" but "Citrabomb" is a decent runner up. Let me know if you have trouble finding them perhaps we'll send you some. Sending well wishes from the Rockies! 🏞️🫶

Here in Europe they make really good non alcoholic beer. I have had the Heineken before and as Penn notes close to the real thing. Same with most NA beers overhere. I prefer a Hefeweizen N/A I buy in Germany. I like the darker beers and harder to find them as NA. The NA IPAs I have tried are really close to an IPA. Odd thing is over here they sell alot of American IPAs along with regular IPAs.
